THE WABASH APPROPRIATION. General Tipton, in a letter addressed to the people of Indiana, remarks
"A bill passed both Houses of Congress, appropriating money to improve the navigation of the Wabash river; but to this bill, so important to Indiana and Illinois, the President of the United States has seen fit to refuse his sanction. This extraordinary procedure is, in my opinion, irreconcilable with his approval of bills for improving the navigation of the Cumberland and the Hudson rivers, unless the advocates of this policy seek to shelter themselves by claiming more for rivers watering the States of Tennessee and New York, than they arc willing to allow to the rivers of Indiana and Illinois." . We regret that General Tipton, who sustained the President in the great struggle against the Bank with so much firmness last winter, should express so hasty an opinion in regard to the Presidents withholding his signature from the bill appropriating $20,000 to improve the navigation of the Wabash. And we particularly regret, that in stating the grounds of his dissent from the President, that the Senator did not do justice to the President's motives, nor present a fair view of the reasons which he has again and again submitted to Congress, as prescribing the rule of his conduct in relation to the appropriations of Congress to internal improvements.
Since the celebrated veto on the Maysville road bill, the opposition in Congress got up another internal and external improvement bill, in anticipation of the last Presidential election, which was passed through Congress upon the log-rolling sys
tem. We believe a douceur to every Stale in the ;
Union was presented in the items of that bill, j They were brought in conflict with the principles
of the first veto, to compel the President, by withholding his assent to the prodigal expenditure proposed among the States, to incur the hostility of the members of Congress interested in some portion of the bill, and at the same time risk the favor of such of the people in the States, as were likely to be particularly benefitted by any of the proposed improvements. The President again most cheerfully staked his honors and station upon the purity of his own motives and the confidence he reposed in the good sense and purity of the People. He relumed the Harbor and River hill to Congress with his objection and with his message, sent in a list, from the Engineer Department, pointing out the objects for which appropriations had been made, coming in conflict with tho veto. In the message returning this bill
reviving the Clay system, (which contained many important appropriations, which the President wished to sanction, but could not, because blended with others conflicting with tho rule of limitation prescribed by hi3 principles,) he thus recurred to the constitutional boundaries which, as lie contended, limited the powers of Congress upon the subject: "Having maturely considered that bill within the time allowed me by the constitution, and being convinced that some of its provisions conflict with the Tule adopted for my guide on this subject of legislation, I have been compelled to withhold from it my signature; and it has therefore failed to become a law. To facilitate, as far as I can, the intelligent action
of Congress upon the subjects embraced in this bill, I transmit herewith, a report from the Engineer Department, distinguishing, as far the information within its possession could enable it, between those appropriations which do, and those which do not, conflict with the rules by which my conduct in this respect has hitherto been governed. By that report it will be seen that there is a class
of appropriations in the bill for the improvement of
streams that are not navigable, that are nor channels of commerce, and that do not pertain to the harbors
or ports of entry designated by law, or have any ascertained connexion with the usual establishments for the security of commerce, external or internal. It is obvious that such appropriations involve the sanction of a principle that concedes to the General Government an unlimited power over the subject of internal improvements, and that I could not therefore approve a bill containing them, without receding from the positions taken in my Veto of the Maysville Road Bill, and afterwards in my annual message of December 7, 1830." It will be seen from this, that tho President considered the powers of Congress circumscribed in making expenditures, to those waters over which, as leading to ports of entry or delivery, ihe jurisdiction conferred by the constitutional right to regulate commerce attaches. Now General Tipton knows full well, that there
is no port of entry or delivery on the Wabash. He
knows that there are ports of entry and delivery on
the Cumberland at Nashville, and at Albany, New Vwfc. ITn knows that an immense commerce is
borne in steamboats through the States of Kentucky and Tennessee up to the port of Nashville, and in everv sort of vessel upon the tide waters of the Hudson to Albany. The port of Albany, to
of Great Britain, the President boldly staked himself in his firt veto. The nation approved it Indiana sanctioned it, in giving her vote subsequently for the President; and would Senator Tipton now have his State, for the paltry sum of twenty thousand dollars, abandon the President, the parly, and the principle, to which she lies hitherto adhered? This patriotic, disinterested, democratic
State, would look with scorn upon such a bonus for a dereliction of the cause which she has uniformly supported and would feel that she deserved almost the execrations of posterity, if she, to open the way to tbeacquisition of twenty thousand dollars, should make a breacli in the embankments by which the President has circumscribed the great expenditure, that under pretence of public improvements, is to corrupt Congress to buy over to

diana? Is there anv evidence that tho fact is so?
Is there any reason why it should be so? Tennessee, it is true, gave her electoral vote to him three times for President but did not Indiana also vote for him three times? Tcnnesse, therefore, in this respect, has no claims that Indiana is not equally
entitled to. Ihe President, no doubt, feels grateful to both of those States for their steady and zealous support of him. So far as Indiana is concerned, he has given frequent evidences of his devotion to the best interest of her industrious, enterprising, and patriotic citizens, since the commencement of his administration. He has willingly embraced every opportunity of ridding that State of its Indian population, and has actually acquired for it, by extiniruishinff the Indian title to lands between four
and five millions of acres of its richest soil. There are now about S0,0()0 acres only belonging to the Indians within her limits; and so anxious was the President to obtain this small tract of country for the State, that he appointed, without solicitation on her part, Commissioners to treat for it. It is true the Commissioners failed, but it affords decisive nrobf of the President's desire to serve the
Slate. We might add, that large sums of money have been appropriated (upwards of $'300,000 within that State) for the construction of their great national road; and yet, so far from the President's refusing, he has always cheerfully given his sanction to those bills. It will probably take a million more to complete that great national improvement through Indiana.
We venture to say there will to no objection,
on the part of the Executive, lo those appropria lions. On the other hand, what has been done for Ten
ncssce, since the commencement of his administra
tion? Why, there has been appropriated fifty or
sixty thousand dollars to improve the navigation of

tainingto and connected with the ttsual establishments' for the sccurittj of commerce, external or in
ternal," for as early as 17S9 it was established a port of delivery by an act of Congress, and included within the collection district of the city of NewYork. In opening the way to these established ports, Congress has the power, as conceded in tho lirst veto message, to make appropriations. But the Wabash at present, stands precisely in the predicament of all those places in the Harbor and
River bill, on account of which, as we have seen, j
the President, to be conscientiously consistent, vvat obliged to apply his veto. If the lands resigned to . Indiana by tho United States should enable the Slato to finish the canal to the Wabash, then a ,o,t rbannel of commerce will be opened, which
" may justify Congress in establishing a port of entry on that river but until that shall have been done, it would seem to us that the improvement in question is precisely in the predicament of that long on rnminff into office, the President

is all that has been done for Tennessee and West
em Kentucky, and all that can be done consistently with the veto. And yet General Tipton thinks
this little, when compared with the millions given
lo Indiana, to rnych, and that this.adminislration is
disposed to henpall its benefits on two Stales mark
ed as favorites'. Though Tennessee has obtained
little, she has had more than she asJ:cd; for the appropriation was, in fict, supported by many whose only object was to make out of it the imputation now cast on the President by Gen. Tipton. It was
not sought by either the President nor the Tennes
see delegation.
New York, General Tipton thinks, is a favorite lso of the Pesident ! What lias been done for her?
Not one dollar, cither in land or money, has been
given to that State for the construction of roads or canals. Her splendid improvements have been
made out of her own resources improvements of the first importance, not only to the State of New York, but to Indiana, and the whole West, and southwest; yet tho Federal Government contributed not one cent towards their completion. The truth is, New York, considering he territorial extent stretching from the Atlantic to the Lakes
her immense population, and the amount of revenue she pays into the Federal Treasury, has had less done for her by the Government than any other State in the Union. But we mean to draw no invidious comparisons
between the States of the Union; nor do we intend to object to what has been done for Indiana. Far from it; she deserves every thing she has received, and we should be glad to see the navigation of her rivers improved, if it could be done without unsettling established principles, and involving the President in inconsistencies. Whatever may be said
by Senator Tipton, we are sure the generous and liberal-hearted citizens of that prosperous and
crrowin State will not believe that the President is
inclined lo postpone their interests to ihoso of any
other State or People. Nor will they desire him, for tho sake of benefiting them, to abandon the
rround he has taken, in relation to internal improve
ment, in his rcto on the Maysville road bill, and i a. c r v ir.i.

TJut such a mode of recommendation and selection is every way objectionable and unjust, there certainly can be but one opinion among men of candid and impartial minds; to say nothing of the bad policy of educating and rearing up, either for the army, or for the walks of civil life, the sons and relatives of the rich and powerful at the public expense. An institution supported by the funds of tho National Government, which closes its doors to any class of meiit, however friendless and indigent, seems to the undersigned to be unequal and partial in its operations, inconsistent with the spirit and
genius of our liberal institutions, anti-republican in its tendency, and should not bo tolerated. Another and most important objection is the exclusive nrivilcac, to which its graduates are en-
titlea, of being promoted to stations in the army, while other individuals in society, who have not had the advantage (free of expense,) of instruction at the military academy, though their talents and qualifications may be sufficient, and in every way equal to those of the Cadets, arc entirely excluded. The undersigned has tliU3 briefly and candidly sketched some of the objections, which it seems to
him, must occur to every one, to the administration of this establishment. Nor is lie singular in
these views. The People of the State of which he has long been an humble citizen, have been led to examine into tho merits of this institution, and
have, unless ho is greatly deceived, very distinctly declared their opinions not only through their Le
gislative body, but by an expression ol public meet-
